H11: section a through f - the information provided by bd represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.The complaint of a bent needle was confirmed.The product returned for evaluation was a one 22 ga x 0.75 in safestep infusion set.The returned product sample was evaluated and the needle was observed to be bent at the needle shaft the following observations were noted during the sample evaluation: usage residue was seen on the sample which proved that the product had experienced at least some use the bend in the needle had occurred away from the needle base which can be caused by device manipulation during/following port access.The needle tip was barbed suggesting contact between the needle and port base.An attempt to advance the safety over the needle tip was successful; however, additional effort was required to advance the safety sleeve past the bent region of the needle.Force applied at an angle to the needle axis, or if the needle is not inserted perpendicular into the port septum, can lead to bending of the needle shaft.It is advised to verify that the needle length is correct based on port reservoir depth, tissue thickness and the thickness of any dressing beneath the bend of the needle; if too long, needle and/or port may be damaged at insertion.Additionally, avoid excessive manipulation once the needle is in the port.No potential damage related to the manufacturing process was noted on the complaint sample.H3 other text : evaluation findings are in section h.11.
